I may not have always been a big deal, simply because of my trickery and smart mind, but in “The Odyssey”, I actually help a great deal. There is this man, Odysseus they call him, not a smart man if you ask me, well, not as smart as I that is. His judgment is impeccable, and he has less will power then a rock! But all the less, I was instructed to aid him by a higher power. Just once I was told I would have to help, and that was all the Gods were going to get out of me! You see, this is this immortal, Calypso, who lives on an island. So it happens that one day Odysseus gets washed up on her island, and Calypso found him. Now Calypso gets very lonely on her island, so when she sees this…attractive desperate man for food and a to be on his way, she sees a window to go through. Calypso keeps Odysseus for seven years as her partner. Now I saw this as my opening to help this man and get this deed over with, so I may get back to my inventing and trickery. I had to have a little chat with Calypso. I told her that Zeus knew what she was doing and he wasn’t happy. This worried her a bit. I told her what was going to happen and what I was going to do, and the stupid ole broad listened to me, like everyone should. Calypso soon released him, and I didn’t even get so much as a thank you.
